Hello from Toronto II

I just joined with my wife cityponder. That will explain things when some of the pictures look like they are from the same yard.

welcome and now you got all the rock people ,we love rocks .I know weird but then ponders are a special group . :razz:

 

[Event Horizon]

Yes rocks rock! They are even better when they are in place and don’t need to be moved. Our build took a few years and it seemed we were continuously moving piles of rocks.

been there done that and it never ends .You change this you change that and you add on .I sometimes wonder why i do it until I sit down and enjoy the pond and forget all the work . :razz:

Neat looking birds you have there.

 

[Event Horizon]

The birds are Cedar Waxwings. Here is a video of them at the waterfall. (if I can figure out how to post a link). lol

 

[sissy]

they really like the fresh drink and they have a yellow tip on there tail.Bathing waterfall .How do you tell the males from the females they all look the same there .You sure get alot of them .Don't look up .

Neat thanks for posting. I love all the variety of birds and critters we get with having a pond.

Wow, that is one bird I don’t know how to tell the males from the females. I know some of them have a bit of red on the tails, but I don’t believe this has anything to do with the sex. They get a bit of red if they eat a type of berry, and I can’t remember right now what berry that is.
Ponding sure is a magnet for nature!

 

[sissy]

gosh that can be confusing for the bird .Go ask you a boy or girl in bird talk :razz: I have never seen them here so they must only live up there .

Those are very pretty and busy little birds. Really enjoyed watching them bathe and flit around in the water. I don't think I've ever seen them around here either.Found this on the Cedar Waxwing. Guess it can be found here in Washington but isn't seen much on our western side of the Cascade mountains. http://www.birdweb.org/birdweb/bird/cedar_waxwing

Welcome to both of you!

Thanks Turtle.

I just love these birds. We never saw them before the pond went in. They are little masked bandits in the yard.
